Tedeschi Trucks Band – Live From The Fox Oakland (3-LP Vinyl)

Read our review of Tedeschi Trucks Band's Live From The Fox Oakland from July 2017 on Relix.com.

Pressed on triple black vinyl, Live From The Fox Oakland captures Tedeschi Trucks Band's complete September 2016 performance at the historic Fox Theater in Oakland, California—a show that was filmed and recorded for both concert film and album release. With TTB's full 12-piece ensemble at peak power, this release documents the band performing material from their Grammy-winning Revelator debut through their 2016 album Let Me Get By, plus carefully chosen covers that reveal their musical foundations. The Fox Oakland's acoustics and the band's multi-night residency allowed them to stretch out without time constraints.

The performance showcases everything that makes TTB legendary as a live band: Derek Trucks' slide guitar mastery, Susan Tedeschi's powerful vocals and rhythm guitar, the three-piece horn section's punch and color, the dual drummers' polyrhythmic foundation, and the backing vocalists' gospel-influenced harmonies all working together with telepathic precision. Extended versions of "Midnight in Harlem," "Do I Look Worried," and "Let Me Get By" demonstrate the band's ability to transform studio recordings into live explorations, while covers like "I Want More" and "Anyday" show their deep connection to soul, R&B, and rock traditions.

What makes Live From The Fox Oakland essential is how it captures TTB doing what they do best—playing live for an engaged audience in a room with great sound, stretching songs out to find new moments within familiar material. The triple vinyl format gives the performance room to breathe across six sides, with natural breaks between sets preserved. For fans who can't catch TTB's marathon live shows, this release provides the next best thing.
